NeuroGenesis (www.neurogenesis-cell.com) is a cell therapy company focusing on developing a unique subpopulation of bone marrow cells that are selected and enhanced to become remyelinating bio-factory cells (NG-01). The platform technology is optimized for treating central nervous system diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The NG-01 technology entails collecting of bone marrow from the patient, then by using a proprietary process, identify and enhance a unique subpopulation of bone marrow cells with outstanding nerve therapeutic properties. NG-01 cells are expanded to tens of millions and injected directly into the spinal cord fluid, home-in on the damaged area, take up residence for up to three months and produce sustained, massive amounts of remyelinating proteins to in-situ remyelinate and repair. NeuroGenesis’ initial focus is on progressive MS. To date, more than 140 patients have been treated with NG-01 via an open label study (Published in Jama Neurology), long term studies (4 years, Frontiers of Neurology), a placebo-controlled trial (Brain, Editor’s Choice) as well as compassionate treatments.
